Notes

  • BSE Ltd. shares experienced a decline for five consecutive trading sessions.
  • The stock closed at ₹3,308 per share, representing a 0.7% decline in the most recent session.
  • Brokerage firm Jefferies downgraded the BSE stock to 'underperform'.
  • Key headwinds identified for domestic proprietary traders include the hike in Securities Transaction Tax (STT), new RBI bank guarantee (BG) norms, and the Closing Auction Session (CAS).
  • Jefferies projected a 5-12% reduction in FY27-29 earnings per share (EPS) estimates.
  • The downgrade is attributed to expectations of slower Average Daily Turnover (ADTO) growth and increased clearing costs.
  • Analysts anticipate a potential recovery in ADTO during the second half of FY27 as issues related to the Closing Auction Session are addressed.
